A half-day workshop on researching, drafting and redrafting speeches. Suitable for experienced and reasonably confident writers new to speech writing. I can deliver the workshop at your venue in Adelaide, or in any Australian capital city or regional centre.

On completing the workshop participants will:

• understand the role and responsibilities of a speechwriter
• know how to work effectively with a reader
• have a range of practical strategies and techniques to draft effective and memorable speeches
• know how to emphasise a central idea
• know how to create strong beginnings and strong finishes
• discuss ways to inform, influence and entertain in a speech.

I’m happy to adjust the content to suit the needs of your staff, or put a workshop together for you from scratch. Call me to discuss.

The cost per participant, at your venue, and for a minimum of eight participants, is $165 (+GST). This includes all materials. For venues outside South Australia, travel and (if necessary) accommodation will be charged at cost.

I’ve included excerpts from participant evaluations below. Let me know if you’d like to speak to any of my clients for an independent review of my work.
